    I just finished watching the RTE news and this was what they stated too. If that's the case, then this change is not as much of a problem as I thought.

    Up to now, it was my understanding that anything over €22 would be subject to import tax. If it's only items over €150, how come I've had to pay import tax (and An Post fees on top) for items I've bought from the US? That's why I thought it was anything over €22, not over €150.

    I'd like to know this too, I always got customs.

    €150 is for Duty. VAT is charged when Cost + Freight is more than €22. € The €22 is being abolished on July 1st 2021.

    I’m not that bothered by this TBH. Seems to me that if, like me you spend less than €150 Per order, not much changes, apart from Prime and delivery.

    I shop as much as I can from Irish suppliers, but it is often so much easier to search, find, read review, order from Amazon/Bezo.. Kindle books will be there anyway no matter what the charge is so I will still use that. As you were....

    VAT & Duty are 2 different things.

    Amazon.co.uk have always charged Irish VAT at checkout.

    I know the UK one always charged Irish VAT. I thought I was getting charged import fees from the US. Maybe it was just the VAT being added on and An Post then piling on for the effort of calculating it?

    If that's the case, then there isn't as much to worry about when ordering from Amazon UK, after January hits, unless the cost is over 150. So I'm happy out really! Interesting to see if Amazon still offer free shipping through Prime after January.....

    I would assume Revenue will regard Amazon UK as a retailer that can be safely trusted to properly declare their consignments and so will carry out pretty limited spot-checks of their packages. So hopefully any additional delay going through customs clearance will be fairly minimal.

    True, but assuming we'll have delays considering the speculation of trucks queuing at ports and stuff, and no priority given. How long of a delay that is will be interesting for Prime.

    Buying stuff through AddressPal could cost a good bit more as any parcels coming through them that get hit by customs will carry a €10 An Post admin fee on top of everything else. Might not be economical.

    Edit: Actually, if you buy through AddressPal, you could end up paying VAT on the double. UK VAT as it will have a GB delivery address and then Irish VAT when accesed by customs.

    Worse still, the customs limit includes any delivery charges. I recently got a fitting for my doorbell camera ($19.99) on Amazon US as it was sold out in Europe. Paid Addresspal €16.99 to bring it to Ireland. I ended to being charged €6 something by customs but a further €10 to An Post for collection of that so overall I paid An Post €26.99.

    It doesn’t matter when it is ordered, it is when it ships. If that is after Jan 1st it may be liable. You can take out prime on other sites, but it doesn’t transfer. If you read back a couple of pages you will see how Amazon UK shouldn’t be affected under €150.

    This site will be handy after Jan 1st. It allows you to check prices for the same product across French, German, UK and Spanish Amazons. Saved almost £30 in a single transaction by using it a few weeks back, you'd be surprised how much cheaper the German Amazon can be for some products over the UK Amazon.

    They gave an example on the news tonight of potential charges. An item costing 162euro would likely attract 62 euro in charges bringing it to 224.

    It's pretty sobering, particularly when you factor in the fact that things will be more expensive in our own shops too.

    Definitely worth thinking if there's any big ticket items you need this wk. I'm thinking a dehumidifier! Not what I hoped I'd be buying for myself for Christmas.

    Considering this is only touching the surface, Amazon is a billion dollar company/owner, imaging the other items we have no clue of yet that we are impacted by. The UK leaving the EU is going to be a disaster of epic proportions solely on us and the UK.

    The EU are leaving us out to dry here, are they backing us up? Utter disaster in the making and we are at the coal front of it all.

    You'd nearly be mental to think the higher ups in the EU are trying to force us out of the EU, so they don't have to deal with the border situation and have us link back in with the UK as one and have us join the UK in there exit.

    Well i just went to buy some water filters from my usual Amazon Supplier top up as im running low.

    Price delivery is now 21 Pound Sterling from this supplier. (from free previously)

    Checked other suppliers for similar products and all marked as not in stock for IRL address - AND funnily enough the NI address too , but when changed to UK address the items appear in stock and ready for delivery.


    Its happening and its happening now.

    Well at least i can cancel prime. Bye Amazon, come back when you are willing to service the IRISH market itself otherwise your a waste of cash!

    I presume that isn't fulfilled by Amazon so third party and not worth them bothering with vat and customs hassle.

    Otherwise it looks like it's BAU for items that are listed under prime and under 150.
    The items under 22 and prime are going to be a bonus for six months.

    Might not have been fulfilled by Amazon but have the large Prime icon and button below them. Which is now.. meaningless as the item is 'not in stock' when IRL address selected.

    Im of the firm believe that people who think its BAU will be quite surprised that its anything but.

    That €62 includes €34 Irish VAT. If you're ordering online from the likes of Amazon UK for direct delivery to Ireland, you won't be paying UK VAT so in reality that €34 is not extra cost.

    Different story though if you buy via a forwarder like AddressPal or buy in person while in GB. In that case you'll pay UK VAT and then Irish VAT on top when the item hits customs. You MAY be able to reclaim the UK VAT though.

    Things should improve in six months when the new EU I-OSS regime comes into effect.

    From 1st July marketplaces like Amazon, eBay etc become responsible for VAT collection on consignments under €150 imported into the EU by sellers on their platforms.

    The quality of financial journalism here can be quite poor at times, either the writer doesn't know enough about their subject or they are deliberately going for clickbait sensational headlines, this point seems to be missed in multiple articles about the subject.

    But your Prime benefits are not transferable. You need to sign up for Prime on each individual Amazon site.

    So better pick the best one for you. I think I am going with DE.

    Well there is definitely a point to signing up for Prime, in some occasions there is free delivery, and if it is not free it is at least reduced. And the delivery time is also shorter.

    Depends on how often you order I guess. I placed 314 orders in 2020, so I am sure Prime has some benefits for me.

    There's no point signing up to Prime on other Amazon sites. Obviously it's very useful on Amazon UK. I find it great. If you sign up to Prime on other European Amazon sites you don't get any free delivery whatsoever. You pay the exact same regardless of whether you're a prime member or not. The only benefit is Prime Video.

    The fact is that ordering from Amazon UK means very very little. Its all one system with different accounting bodies.


    Two prime items today, both from .co.uk :
    1. Luton, Manchester, Dublin
    2. Venetie in ALASKA, Singapore, Manchester, Dublin (Did all that in 3days too)

    The stock held is globally available. Not all storefronts sell all items but for the most part which you use just sets the price and currency you pay in. Often items come from Poland through the UK store.


    If you live in Dublin shipping should probably be pretty rapid no matter what storefront you order from as it'll all go MANx -> DIS1 and to your door.

    Amazon would dispute this version, according to the e-mail (and press release) they published earlier in the year advising GB-based traders that they would no longer fulfill EU orders from GB stock and vice versa.

    Going forward it wont be, my point was in transit as it stands really. If we order UK and it comes from Szczecin and in Jan we order .de and it comes from Szczecin the minor difference will be the shipping charge. Performance should be similar (though theyll have to hub from somewhere other than MAN to feed DIS).

    I'm very curious to see how this ends up. Amazon would need to know upfront where the order will be shipped from, otherwise they won't know whether to apply the customs fees or not. And this question is pertinent regardless of the delivery address:

    Delivery in the UK, order from the .uk site, but shipping is from the Netherlands, and you're liable for import taxes. However, if shipping is from UK, there should be no import taxes.

    Delivery in Ireland or other EU country, order from the .de site, but shipping is from the UK, and you're liable for import taxes. However, if shipping is from Germany, there should be no import taxes.

    Obviously, it could be argued that, if you order from a UK site to a UK address, then it's up to the seller to make sure you don't end up with additional fees regardless of where the item is actually shipped from. Likewise, of course, if you order from an EU site to an EU address.

    Amazon also can't legally apply customs charges for a shipment that ends up not crossing a customs border, so it seems to me that this could end up as quite the logistical challenge.

    So does it mean, perhaps, that orders from the .uk site will always be shipped from the UK, and orders from any of the other EU sites will never be shipped from the UK?

    This seems to me to be in line with the instructions given to third party, fulfilled by Amazon, sellers, which are to specifically ship to the UK any items to be sold through the .uk site, while items for the other sites will still be distributed around the EU by Amazon themselves (this is my understanding at least, please correct me if I'm wrong).

    Might this lead to reduced stock and reduced selection on the .uk site over time?

    I don't think we have 100% confirmation they won't be charging UK VAT as well as Irish VAT. EU rules forbid the double charging of vat between member states. I'm not sure if WTO rules forbid it.

    The UK could declare that any .co.uk website has to pay UK VAT on sales. And we would still have to pay Irish vat on importing.

    If the products are shipped from somewhere other than the UK it should be grand if they still offer the benefits of prime. You could lose prime TV if you have it.

    It depends on how bloody minded the UK want to be. They could lose out on the VAT on exports, but support their export industry. Or keep their pound of flesh and make their exporters uncompetitive.

    Just cancelled my Amazon prime membership, it was due to renew on 26th. I don't see the point now and don't see the point in signing up for prime on the EU stores as it doesn't give free shipping

    Ordered 5 items from Amazon.co.uk yesterday. 2 just delivered now, 1 tomorrow and the final 2 it says Tuesday. Seems strange way of doing things

    What's strange about items from different warehouses arriving on different days?

    Even paying all the extra taxes it will still be cheaper to buy items from Amazon.uk than buy off Irish sites.
